Eating in NOLA:

Because I know your answer is undoubtably "The glorious resurgence of the Eating In Nola foodblog" I thought I would shoot you a quick post about what I'm thankful for.

It's really 3 things, and in this order.

Good friends
Good food
Big Green Eggs

We did our traditional MBA potluck Thanksgiving last week and like always it was great. Kerry and I brought the mashed potatoes, creamed onions, rolls and spiced pear bread pudding. Other selections included stuffing, sweet potatoes, fresh green beans, green bean casserole, cupcakes from Sucre, chocolate pecan pie and a turkey smoked in our friends' brand new Big Green Egg.

Take a look at this plate.



I'm actually sitting in the airport right now getting ready to fly back home from my family Thanksgiving. So check these out too.




Dinner




And the post Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich.

And hell, here is the turkey sandwich I'm eating as I write this in the Victory Lane Bar in the ATL airport.




Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Coming up? Luke and Huevos.

All the food cookin' at the levee made us want to grill out. So we grilled up some hot dogs on Mardi Gras night. We got some Bob Evans sides (Macaroni & Cheese and Original Mashed Potatoes) to go along with our Oscar Mayer Deli Style Hot Dogs. I sauteed up some sweet onions too.


Kerry went with some of those onions, ketchup and mustard.

My plate looked messier because I went with chili and cheese and didn't skimp at all on the sides.

It was a nice quick, easy, pre-travel dinner. Look out for the Eating in ATL posts coming up this weekend.
